YAL watch design mimics an electronic circuit.

Yoann says: For a long time, I like to make some graphic creation in my free time and I used to put on it my little logo and “YAL” as a signature. I thought it will be cool to design a watch concept with it ! So, I took my pencil, turned on the tron music and began to create a watch with my inspiration.

Well, the symbol is divided into several parts :

* The middle circle indicate hours (one led for one hour)
* The outer branches indicate minutes (one led for 5 minutes)
* The 2 leds on each side indicate the single minutes (on led for 1 minute)
* And the two leds on the middle is a PM indicator.

To tell the time, you have just to count the number of lighted led on each part and add them.

Example : 5 leds in the middle, 2 leds in the outer branches, 2 more led on the left and PM indicator on = 5h + (2×5)mn + 2 mn + p.m

5h12 !

I see rather the people of my generation,that is to say 18-25 years old wearing my design. But, why not a a business leader or other !

I think glowing leds effect on the metal looks very cool ! Moreover the outer lines that looks like electronic circuit track.

this one looks really nice. but when I see through the glowing effect and the shiny metal, it’s not really my taste. first of all the S symbol in the middle is too special for me. I wouldn’t wear it because it’s too logo like. I often see on here, that designers create a special shape and use a part of it to tell the time and destroy the actual shape. the result is just a bunch of glowing leds that only tell little about the shape they are arranged in. the time reading works ok, but it’s obvious the shape came first, and then the function has been added. enough blah blah now. the little circuits are just great. the black watch with green leds is my favorite here. ****/maybe

about the rating. there is sometimes a discussion on here about people who like to rate one * for some reasons. you have to live with that until tokyoflash finds a better way. as long as the comments are good, don’t worry.

about the amount of comments. there is no limit. but there’s also no guarantee that this concept will be chosen if you find friends that comment for this watch only and ignore the other watches in the blog (no offense). there have been many comments on great designs before, but they all seem forgotten.

This watch is beautiful.
Please make it, it’s an original watch but not too extravagant as many shows on this site.
It is very classy (i don’t know if this term is correct :/ ) and I can’t wait to wear it :D
